Validating Rule (2002 SP3)

I am looking to set the validation rule so dates can only be in a certain range. I can get the validation rule to work if it simply greater than or less then but not between the two dates. There will be a few different validation rule sets for the same field. This is a small snippet from the On Got Focus event. Any help is greatly appriceated.

Since dteDate1 and dteDate2 are used between the quotes, the validation rule will contain the names of the variables as literal text, not the values of the variables. Moreover, date values should be enclosed in # characters.
